Beyonce Shocked By Kelly Rowland's Dirty Laundry 'Out Of The Blue' Meltdown?

Beyonce was reportedly shocked when she found out about Destiny's Child bandmate Kelly Rowland's tearful performance of her new song Dirty Laundry in Washington DC.

The new X Factor USA judge shocked fans last month when she premiered the track, taken from her upcoming album, 'Talk A Good Game,' in which she reveals for the first time her envy over Beyonce's successful solo career and the abusive relationship she once endured.

Despite Kelly herself insisting her BFF has been supportive of the tune, insiders have since come forward to say Kelly's public display was a shock for Beyoncé.

"This meltdown came out of the blue," an insider alleges to Look Magazine. "She probably thought all their bad times were behind them and with Kelly's single and her contract to judge the X Factor US, thought she was in a good place."

"But when she broke down, Bey must've realised she is still hurting and their fall-out is still very raw."

Beyoncé reportedly called Kelly as soon as she found out she had cried on stage with the 31-year-old said to have given her pal a pep talk and promised they would spend more time together in the future.

"She immediately knew she had to reach out to Kelly," the friend explained. "It was a positive conversation and I'm sure both girls feel much better about everything. "

These new claims back up Kelly's own account of how the song has actually bought the two childhood friends closer. “I think the people wanted those stories for years and that's just so sad on them because it's not like that,” Kelly told OMG! Insider of rumours that the ballad has caused a rift.

Revealing Beyonce's reaction after first hearing the song, Kelly said: “She looked at me and said it's incredible. And said how proud she was of me and then said I never left. And I just oh, man. It was so true she never left. I checked out for a minute.”
